To give a contrary opinion, I found Thoth to suck horribly. WAAAY too 
much manual setting needed, it's hard to know when global settings work 
or when they're overridden by newsgroup spefic settings. The binary 
handling is poor in my opinion.

Too many windows open everywhere, and slow, at least on my news server. 
The UI is really horribly atrocious.

Mozilla's newsreader on the other hand had NONE of these problems and 
works wonderfully. I would heartily recommend Mozilla's newsreader.

also, Thoth costs $25, Mozilla is free.
